USC Elizabeth Holmes Fisher Museum of Art

USC Fisher Museum of Art is the accredited art museum of the University of Southern California. Founded in 1939 with a gift from Elizabeth Holmes Fisher, the university’s first woman trustee, and dedicated in 1940, the gallery was the first museum established in Los Angeles devoted exclusively to the exhibition and collection of fine art. It was accredited by the American Association of Museums in 1990. In addition to showing its permanent collection – which encompasses groups of 19th-century American landscapes, 16th- and 17th-century Northern European paintings, 18th-century British portraiture and 19th-century French Barbizon paintings, as well as 20th-century works on paper, paintings and sculpture – the museum hosts traveling exhibitions and other special events. The museum schedule includes exhibitions of the permanent collection in the Walter and Hertha Klinger Gallery, Quinn Wing; changing exhibitions in the main galleries; and small-focus exhibitions and displays of orientation materials and catalogues in the Goldstein Reading Room.
